He didn't; he just advocated that people should get up earlier in the summer to make more use of the daylight hours. The idea of daylight saving time, ie changing the time shown on clocks, is generally credited to Englishman William Willett (1856-1915), although New Zealander George Hudson has also been credited with the idea. Willett campaigned long and hard for daylight saving time in Britain, and it was eventually introduced in that country in 1916, primarily to reduce the use of coal during the First World War.
If you don't like daylight savings time you can ask your political representative to sponsor legislation to cancel it. But since daylight savings time does have its supporters, you will run into opposition. Political change does not come easily.
"Fall back" is a sort of mnemonic designed to remember the time changes that come with Daylight Savings in autumn. In fall, one turns back their clocks one hour -- analogous to "falling back" one hour. Compare this to spring where the clocks "spring ahead" one hour.
The prominent English builder and outdoorsman William Willett invented DST in 1905 during one of his pre-breakfast horseback rides, when he observed with dismay how many Londoners slept through the best part of a summer day. An avid golfer, he also disliked cutting short his round at dusk. His solution was to advance the clock during the summer months, a proposal he published two years later.

The energy savings of extended Daylight Savings Time in modern society are questionable. The energy for lighting tends to move to the morning, used by those who must rise well before the adjusted hour of dawn during the winter. During the summer, energy savings used to come from all the extra outdoor activity that was done in the long evenings before sunset, but with so much of our activity now done indoors, the savings may be lost to the costs of air conditioning residences after work in a hotter part of the day. There is a concern regarding the safety of children walking to school or waiting for a bus in the winter before dawn because of the adjusted time, especially in the more northerly parts of the country.
It's mostly silliness, political in nature. Farms ignore it because the cows don't change. The idea is to "gain" hours of sun-light for working people, but the same effect could be gained by changing the "standard working hours" of schools and factories. Let the day begin at dawn !
Benjamin Franklin suggested the concept of daylight savings time to citizens of Paris to conserve candles by rising earlier to use natural morning sunlight. However daylight savings time as we know it was brought forth by William Willett, who spent much of his life unsuccessfully lobbying for it in London.
Google. Just look up "Biography of Benjamin Franklin" and it should come up.
never
it came about when Benjamin Franklin wanted to prove that lightning is electricity

I didn't know what timezone.exe was but come to find out, it is an application that adjusts your timeclock for daylight savings time. Hope this helps
Nobody. The United States did not come into existence until 1776 and Franklin was born in 1706. When Ben Franklin was born, there was no President. America was still a collection of British colonies.
That the 13 colonies should join or come together.
